It also saves mouse clicks by allowing you to enter a negative value [and calculations] for the dimension rather than having to check a box or click a button.”Author:handleman with section by KenBolenVersion: 2Filesize: 19.81 KBAdded on: 15-Nov-2007Category: Macros (VB6) / Assembly MacrosOpen Assembly ComponentsDescription:Traverses the open assembly and activates all components and their drawings (if of the same name).Author:handlemanVersion: 1.02Filesize: 8.06 KBAdded on: 27-Nov-2006Category: Macros (VB6) / Assembly MacrosReference Geometry Selection
